Note:
The DX Engineering HEXXAGONAL beam is a kit. There are over 200 parts in the kit that must each be
handled according to a 36 page assembly manual for the beam to be completed. For example, the
support cords must be cut, measured and knotted. The wire spacers also must be measured and cut
and fitted with fixtures. The fiberglass spreader arms must be measured, marked and fixtures
attached. The hub must be carefully assembled with six adjustment screws for proper alignment. See
details of all this work in the DX Engineering manual that can be downloaded from their site.
The Plug and Play beams are fully assembled beams broken into modules for shipping but can be
re-assembled in a short evening or less. You can see the difference in the size of the assembly
manuals. The K4KIO manual is 7 pages and the Traffie manual is 10 pages. The DX engineering
manual is 36 pages. Download the K4KIO assembly manual.
